Generally fun and inoffensive shot-on-video anthology
After meeting a clueless fan, an irate horror director kidnaps him and forces him to watch his old movies.
The Good Stor(ies): Hello Dolly-After meeting a sketchy salesman, a man brings home a cursed doll which may or may not be alive. This one had a lot to like, as the low-budget setup and payoff are fun, the effects are appropriately goopy and slimy and the payoff works nicely. It's just so short it barely has time to do anything other than careen towards as obvious a conclusion as can be.
Aeropophagous-Diagnosed with a terrible disease, a man afflicted by a debilitating condition tries to treat it before it gets out of hand. There's quite a lot to enjoy here, with the opening being a complete parody of the segment's namesake opening sequence with some decent gore before settling into a solid series of humorous gags related to his nauseating condition. It's played for laughs, not scares, but it's fast and fun for what it is.
The Bad Stor(ies): The Poor, The Flesh, and The Bag-In debt to a hoodlum, a man sees a way out when a neighbor loses a case of money with him only to discover a deadly secret about the bag. The general idea of this one has a fine twist in store for it but the budget betrays this one by making everything look quite silly which, alongside the uninspired hoodlum angle, undoes the fun had with the cheesy concept that's charming enough.
Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, and Brief Nudity.
